Life has meaning despite abuse which will come along,
Forgiveness you may be struggling to give to another.
Even when Life appears to lack purpose, when it's dark, full of blues,when stuck in 'repeat crap mode'.
Shine your light.
Others may need to be away from rocks, Shine your light.
So spending time in the company of others.
Spending time in connection with others.
Spending time in nothingness with each other.
Spending time with investment in listening.
Spending time simply.
I know posted similar, but always worth reminding you and l.
God gifted us each other, Thank him.
Thank them, cuppa and enjoy simplicity.
To be able maintain faith in a secular age may be equivalent to the ascetic feats of saints from bygone eras.
Trust in God, even when you don’t fully understand what he is doing.
It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God, so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Verses this concept.
An authoritarian pastor can create a near-cultist atmosphere.Most Zionists sermons center on sin and hell. Over the decades, churches have played on many fears, You`ll never get to Heaven if you..
When I go to a new church, the more its members resemble each other, and resemble me,Well honestly..
(NO yet enter Church where people resemble Kevin W). the more uncomfortable I feel.
l keep exploring simple question, most days Does Kevin W.
Honestly represent Jesus through my acts of service,displays of love,
Have l encouraged others to demonstrate unity in the Tribe.
Exclusion by Fear, keeping subtly others outside,lack of honest debate, is what many recognise as Authoritarian, rigid, lack of participation . may also witness some of these .Honour Israel, ignore Palestine conflicts, these Toxic teachings are evident.
Bit of Paulision advice..
“I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.”
Important to know which theological ,ethical delimas to emphasis, the ones to minimise. Hostility over minor disagreements, is a serious threat to people accepting teaching example and being in a relationship with Jesus as Lord,church unity.
You do, You make Life better for others..You.
A friend told me they were too much alone.
Also sometimes they felt lonely.
We all do, may at time's be alone. Well my friends it's life.
That why, when not lonely you know when you are?
Life can't always be,` happy clappy surrounded by bells and Bows.`
It's silence, little money, poor quality food, no mates and early nights.
I have been there, not fun but it still part of Life`s tapestry.
Start with feeling, Actions all the stuff of Love.
It's complex,multi faceted.Like Life
It's hard.
Try this excerise. We use it along with lyrics to love songs.
Share how love is discussed in songs,how do they inform you about Love?
Ask how do your actions reflect Love?
How do you reflect that in practical ways.
Read some Bible Ephesians
4 Love is patient,Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil(F) but rejoices with the truth.7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
NOW how do you score out of 10.
Kevin is Patient
He does not boast not proud pretty humble.
He won't dishonour you not selfish, not concerned primerly about self.
Kevin honest does like bad evil stuff.
Truthful protective,ful of hope.. Resilient.
OK perhaps felt your Failing...how do we measure Love.
Discussion debate honest sharing.
Love these life moment's.
Tough hard development.
Life, life worth living if attempting to be more Loving.
Life can sometimes be,When see after fishing , a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. it can be when bend down and start to write on the ground with your finger.
Biblical insight into routine of Jesus's day
Aware or feeling ,that may not be grasping everything happening.Trying to assimilate is it stress of the last whole year.Which has been one of service to ill son.
Could perhaps my own health be an issue. Long journeys ,struggle like you,me, many others.
Perhaps all the political stuff which has affected everyone, Long period in C19 Lock-down.Trails relating to economic well being, Recession, lack of real work.
Isolation in Rural community.
Maybe guilty of , well in reality am l embracing a victim-hood mentality.
Faith, Vocation, Church position, all in less valued by fact Christian worldview is not one generally accepted in mainstream UK culture or Themes.
So l want to ask myself `Where is the hope`?
What does a better, different, following Jesus way of being look like when facing despair.?
Well we need Justice, the Angry Judge Judy kind of correcting others Justice.
We (Church,) followers of Jesus must listen, listen actively and deep.
More especially to those without value, nor a voice in our society.
Act to bring about concern for the issues they face.
Practical stuff must be done, drawing doodles while sit have a cuppa and spend time together in, plus among the lost,those alone in the crowd.
Make a meal share that meal. Eating as it opens communication.
The East Riding Puffin affect.
You know what,
I'll take that.
But returning home no-one to further Assess me.
Bit waste of time.Expected to be back for tests etc..
Mind, thinking is OK,Being in hospital l find a great leveler.
You witness those who got have bigger struggles than one your facing.
Feel the need to ask that, God will bless you.
Cannot sleep.
Walk promenade alone.
Get best view.
See new day.
Share with Lord.
Later l write to U
Listen to Motown.
Take my tablet's, get to grips with the days event's
Kestrel drifts in breezy sky.
It's busy, cannot recognise me as drive by.
The menu below has yet to be caught.
Off to shops get my own meals to prepare.
Old folk grumbled, cuppas been served.
Who gets to heaven, Bad theology again,
In the same old place Faith massages a fools Ego.
I observe with clear eyes, it's action witnessed before. Creates further discord.
Not a riddle, plain to see, empowerment not practised by man whose Faith.
About only what HE should be.
Faith can be good for even a fool's Ego.
I come to this moment when recognise that its difficult subject,
When last experienced near death was in Hospital.
Writing this, well (vulnerabilities here),
it may put me,among cuckoo brigade.
But this l felt was real, aware after three days in ICU WARD , coming around from `open heart surgery`.
others where in the area, Dead.
Heard weeping as younger male come into see
plus say goodbye to his Father.
The other was female, she had no relatives she departed alone.
l was so aware that felt something leaving the arena.
Prayed..odd heard a strange song for no reason..
`l`ii paint a patch of Blue on your weather beaten face`.
you see somethings make sense.
Become aware of nurses talking to myself,
asking about walks l liked ,the beach, my DJ work, family .
Given drink .
Days passed in out ..in out..in out gradually become more aware.Checked the people had died facts gathered where true.
But all efforts focused on myself, recovery, return to better health.
Soon l will be returning to difficult journey, more Heart operations,procedure,interruption,
More aware.
OLDER.
Been again into difficult operation once since that day nearly a decade ago.But got real poorly by lot more recently. Try hard to keep fit ,active, mindful, serving, addressing Faith,music, local small P politics.
Invested in friendships,family,community, returned to work last time. Afterwards for years traveled mainly UK, Northern Europe working.
Last few years, became aware that l was failing, the frustrations became real.Feeling worthless, bit useless.
This here is honest level five sharing. Hope more emotionally open, less insecure so this is communication and interaction.
l write this at this moment for you when it becomes a moment you face. Thought that I’m leaving you all keeps me awake some nights.
Kids not as bad as we were. Did different things different measures different reasons.
Now it's tough to be younger.
We often hear` if l was young`.
If they` were in my time`.
It cannot be that case, they cannot become us back then nor us here and now.
More tolerance, they are the future one we may not know, but invest in them. it will still be tough because life is tough.
So, we discussed about faith.
Sharing how then discovered my faith led to belief in Jesus,
from that feeling this story recognised was real.
Secure in that feeling, leading myself
To making a personal commitment.
Faith grew. Developed became more confident.
Read variety of books, best learning from Church folk.
Books, reading, questions, discussion, certainly at first listened other stories about own Christian commitment.
Then discovered heritage, theological rambling, gaining bigger sense of my following of Jesus.
Made daft mistakes, the me l was then, is not the me l am now.
Life not like a good movie.
Damm sight tougher.
Faith if not lived among,further in part of Church group can lead to huge Ego issues.
Faith best grows when watered with others in Faith community.
A crisis is not pouring soup over a world class painting, because you hate others.
that`s not a problem it's just an issue to disagree upon.
Vincent van Gogh was committed to providing for those in environment he lived.
In some way he was Street worker making relationship with vulnerable.
Using talent to support others.
This he felt was his mission, vocation, calling from God.
Now, I understand What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
l do not wish too, nor am l prepared to be bullied.
Feel its okay stopping you from getting to work even from getting to a hospital – This they do by blocking roads stopping Fire engines ,Ambulances,all people getting about lawful ,legal, business.
Because according misanthropic green gospel, these behaviors are polluting, thus bad, thus they must be curtailed. When you see the human race as a problem, you’ll soon start to hate human beings.
NOW that is the best argument l have seen around all egotist WOKE agenda..
They don`t like other people, nothing l could do would help them.
They simple do not want me nor you in their environment.
Even if we dyed our hair Purple, wore same clothes for years,read the books they read, listened to Chopin and Mozart daily, refused to work again, only ate `Chickpeas and Butter beans in Organic pizza cornbread`..They do not like you and me.
We are the plebs ,can be wasted, if our relative dies or worse becomes clinically dead while awaiting Healthcare because they have blocked the road.
It does not matter, indeed its been proved they have affected life and Death decisions.
When you see the human race as a problem, you’ll soon start to hate human beings.
Sadly Faith of followers of Jesus are engaged in some of these ethical standards.
Promise of new spirituality allows them, not to be involved in true mission, nor being an effective witness,they got something better.
Swings heavy.
They got a` heart of stone`.Not the `property of Jesus` this too the faith followers resent. Many ways rewritten the Bible to suit own argument.
Creator God allows them to have 100 sexual preferences,
(So she can`t be very good at this creating business).
To wear Glitter for a sacred religious event,Male to dress as a woman,before he reside over Faith gathering having folded with a Turkish wrap own @@censored@',
Now Alex is a Shelia, the Beds are burning, more important no ones dancing, nor are any allowed Joy.
‘Let’s produce less energy!’ ‘Let old people freeze to death’ .
These have become the shouts of those from the Faith community ,Wrongly aligned with the woke activists.
Why?
l suggest they not taken faith as a feeling ,own commitment. they taken faith as a badge to wear to enable them to get careers. Then promote a mixed up spirituality, a message of doom.
Faith is first of all a feeling, then get educated in more knowledge,working out in the practice of LIFE so get more aware, more confident of how Faith can impact the former.
But some got a Faith that does not need to grow it hides in broad daylight among the WOKE community.
Apparently so crowded people walking like Penguins.It was very costly. £3 For chips at Carvers.
Hull Fair organisers have reassured fair-goers that a viral video of a riot on a `hook-a-duck` stall did not happen at the Walton Street fairground.
The footage shows a group of youths fighting and committing acts of vandalism in the middle of a `hook a duck `store.
LIFE.
Bridlington harbour..had chips on seafront wall, talked about Hospital, next consultant appointment.
Honest discussion around health.
If l leave "enjoy this..."
Bit concerned about others, but nothing more presently can do..
Illnesses bring change, `song in my head,book trying to finish`.
If l Leave.
Still look for purple sandpipers, eat fish chips, laugh have a cuppa.
Buy pound ice-cream, stay warm in the breeze. All of us must keep on,the fight for justice.
If l leave, sail again on the Pirates ship, fly skull and crossbones.
Remember to bring sandwiches and a flask, soon be winter,wrap up well.
If l Leave, may not be around to remind you.
Forgetting in all of this.
We never said `hello again`.
But a time will return
when music play a reminder,
Film will project some image,
good news will be told.
The first memory l have of my home town, well suppose is that of coming from area blighted.
Forgotten and ignored.
It became territoriality spiritual warning.
Even though took while for me to invest right energy into understanding.
Groups gathered, expert arrived shared new knowledge. Like at present they told us stuff which had examples about own life.
These areas of expertise added ideas which were relevant.
The professional route taken, well really fell fortunately among, was on community development programme.
Tailoring trade,where l had worked since leaving school, industry this was dying.
Imports social fashions changed, resulted in less work,less income poor hours.
Another job, a position change of role , never ever felt like work. The change of working. East of Hell 'this blighted estate'...new role, difficult working, total new work practices. Surrounded by political activity, Faith article of social understanding was growing in myself.
But a steady wage. Followed by Professional development,Aware of social synergy.
A Lady who has been a nurse for very many years, either got away with a lot
mistreatment of clients.
Anyway she was seen on TV programme, then expressed her view poorly, with no training or direction about media exposure, resulted in apparently being dismissed from her role as a nurse.
The debate has been hovering around free speech, some are saying that its about ,
concept of the Hippocratic Nursing oath & the ethical standards that all health workers should maintain at all times or do!
But most professions had such standards, INDEED l helped write `Ethical standards in Youth work`. Should society get rid those ethical standards ,like everything else?
If Faith is altering a society than , Grace is required. Forgiveness is practiced.
Conversations are essential, well you already know that. they claim that in any business you need Education, Experience, exposure. Further c...
